Description

If not one of the best field mammalogists in the world today (and she most likely is), Emmons is certainly one of the best "field research" writers. Her style and descriptions are fantastic to read, neither too fluffy nor detached and uninteresting. She includes both the highlights and the unfortunate accidents of her field seasons, providing a reality and a "sense of being there" that's difficult to find in articles or other people's writing. I'm no treeshrew researcher, and probably never will be, but found Tupai to be a fascinating book and yet another model by Emmons on how to do quality field research.
